What is WiFi Repeater? - How to Setup Wifi Repeater? - How Wi-fi Repeater Works?

Wi-Fi is generally called as the wireless LAN that are very useful device of wireless technology but in some area its signals are limited and they do not work properly. So to enhance the range and the transmission of this signals of wi-fi. A special type of device is used that is refer to as the wi-fi repeater. It is an electronic device that is used to amplify the signals and can transmit it in the distant areas.

How to Setup Wifi Repeater?
In setting the wi-fi repeater user should know well about the wireless router that is used in the wifi repeater to amplify the signals. The router theta is used in the setup of the wi-fi repeater should produce the healthy signals because it is the basic need of wifi repeater. Commonly the steps that are used to setup the repeater are given below

1. Wireless router should have power to broadcast the strong signal that has ability to amplify or rebroadcast again with help of wi-fi repeater. If it is not in the good condition then change it first.
2. Plug the power cable first in the wireless router then I the wall outlet of the electric power. Then plug one end of Ethernet cable in the back of the wi-fi repeater and other end with the wireless router.
3. After these connection turn on the wifi repeater and install its required software with the help of computer from given disk. After installing disconnects repeater from the both cables.
4. Then place the repeater between your wireless router and computer out from the range it will amplify the signals. Test the repeater on different wireless networks at halfway access point.

How does Wifi Repeater Works?
 Wi-fi repeater is a device that is operate electronically and it function is only to amplify the signals of the wireless or the wifi devices in those areas where the signaling power of the wifi devices are quite weak. First of all wireless or the wi-fi repeater collects all the signals with the help of antenna from the local area network or the source of signals, commonly different types of radio devices are used for such purpose. After the collection of all the signals of the wifi media then expand them to the users that are connected with the wifi repeater device, but only local users can take benefit with the device in the particular area. Generally it increases the power of the radio waves and match them with higher level and are use to increase the infrastructure of the particular device. Instead of wifi repeater, repeaters are also applicable on the other devices such as radio etc.

Problems with Wifi Repeater:
Every advance technology has some problems with their working and performance. Like others wifi repeaters also have some problems and if users neglect them they are unable to expand or amplify the signals of the wifi device. Some of the common problems of the wifi repeaters are as follows

1. Sometimes different types models of the systems are connected with it that has new or different infrastructure and the repeater does not support them. So in such conditions wifi repeater can not repeat or amplify the radio waves.
2. another common problem with the wifi repeater is that some times the signaling or the radio waves from the first source are very weak and the repeaters are fail to expand them or amplify them. So the signals from the source should be reliable for perfect expenditure.
